Carbon dioxide and oxygen
1) T<span>he dissolution of the salt potassium sulfite:
K</span>₂SO₃(aq) → 2K⁺(aq) + SO₃²⁻(aq).
Potassium has +1 charge because it lost one electron to accomplish stabile electron configuration of noble gas argon.
2) From dissolution reaction: n(K⁺) : n(SO₃²⁻) = 2 : 1.
n(K⁺) = 0.700 mol.
0.700 mol : n(SO₃²⁻) = 2 : 1.
n(SO₃²⁻) = 0.700 mol ÷ 2.
n(SO₃²⁻) = 0.350 mol; amount of sulfite anions.
To solve this given problem, we can use the equation below:
ΔG=ΔH - T*ΔS
We are information and values are given and can be used in solving the ΔG of this particular reaction.
ΔH=-99.84kJ
ΔS=-16.80 J/K
T=298K
ΔG=(-99.84kJ)-(298K*-16.80J/K)
ΔG=-94.83kJ
The answer for ΔG is -94.83kJ.
